I'm just curious, where are you people gettin that the capacity for our gym is 2,500 people? I was on the committee to help design the school. Trust me, I would not lie, the gymnasium was built and approved by the fire marshall for 3,500 people. I assure you. The gym is capable of handling the regional tourney. Rumor had it a long time ago that the gym did not have the seating capacity to host a regional tournament. They was just going to let Letcher Central host it one time to welcome the new high school into the region. That is false. The superintendent told me herself that is not true and that KHSAA will permanently place LCC into the 14th region rotation. The rumor came about because KHSAA was looking at an old blue print of the gym at a 3,000 person capacity. When they became aware that KHSAA wouldn't approve them as a regional tournament site they increased it to 3,500 people. The same as many other gyms who gets to host. Of course we wanted it to be bigger. But take a look around, where could we possibly place it? I think the gym is very nice. It has proven to be very adequate during regular season games and handled the first round of the tournament easily.
